ill do a leak down test this weekend.
the rings were the ones i had used prior to the tear down, so they were " broke in" and sealed to the cylinder. I kept them on the same piston they came off of. They are total seal rings, and i do not recall the gap exactly it was somewhere around .0060 or .0065 per inch of bore, but it really did seem very big to me. I gapped it for a 350 HP kit.
